Communication

This feature came with the goal to show a message each time the user access this application after login in to CEAP.

Results

After logging in with one of the users defined in the communication, the user should see the communication right after entering the application. Depending on the modal property configuration, he will see one of the following communication configured:

Example 1 - With modal enabled and recursive enabled:

5-communication

Example 2 - With modal disabled and recursive enabled (full page):

6-communication

Example 3 - With modal enabled and recursive disabled:

7-communication

Example 4 - With modal disabled and recursive disabled (full page):

Each communication will stop showing after the user clicks on one of the buttons shown in the images above. Each button has a different behavior:

  • After clicking Close button in configurations based on Example 1 or Example 2 or Skip button in configurations based on Example 3 or Example 4 the communication will not be shown until next login.
  • After clicking Read button in configurations based on Example 3 or Example 4 the communication will never be shown again, only if an admin user edits the configuration for that communication.

If the user decides not to click in any button, the communication will always show, even if a user types a different url inside the application.
